1st Ever Layout

[dark-as-death]

Hey, for a few weeks now i have been planning a layout and today it is finally finished. This is my 1st ever layout and was made in photoshop, although it is bad i would like to thank everyone who replied to my previous posts as they have helped me alot. Anyway, rate /10 (you can use -99/10 if you like :P) and please can you tell me how i can make it better? its not watermarked partly because i dunno how to do it, and partly because i don't think anyone would wan't to steal it lol.

Cheers,

Kane.

I don't really like it either but oh well, im annoyed though, i have to work quickly with layouts as my 30 day trial runs out in around 25 days, and i don't have $999 as i live in the U.K :(

Liking the idea, maybe only one sidebar, smooth off the curves, smaller font, cool backgrund maybe?

Good first try, but keep working at it.

Your attitude is appauling.

Ok, there's simple layouts, but I find that one too simple.

I suggest "investing" in some software such as Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paintshop Pro to make "better" layouts.

It's ok, for your first but it's not brilliant - don't think you've done something brilliant because you havn't.

I'm not trying to be mean - but this is the only way you will get better.

I use The GIMP on my mac. It roXorz. =]

I hate GIMP - Its just complex and over complicated to use.

I can make a good layout in PHotoshop in a few minutes - GIMP took me hours last time
